Any Dream Will Do is the search for a Joseph to star in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Joseph And His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. Only 12 boys will come through the audition process still clinging to their hopes of wearing the Dreamcoat.

Chris lives in his childhood home in Ormskirk, Lancashire and is currently studying for a National Diploma in Musical Theatre at Liverpool Theatre College.

He started singing when he was just four years old, has made ends meet by working in a sunbed shop – which he claims was the worst job he has ever had – and says that he would be a "fresh and vibrant" Joseph.

Chris first auditioned in Manchester and sums up his journey as "mind-blowing – three weeks ago I was in college doing my own thing and now I'm at the BBC doing this huge programme."
